Yours and Ellas of the 27th
ult. and yours of the 16th inst. are recd.. The
former was recd on the 21th inst by the first mail
that came through after the Rebs left. The latter
was recd on the 24th inst. I am much pleased
with Ellas improvement in writing spelling and
composition. It would not make her Ma
feel bad I would say that Ella writes fully as
well as she does and will soon be a long ways ahead
of her in this lady-like accomplishment.

I wrote to you about a week ago and promised you
you the next time I wrote to send you a brief
history of my fighting about this place. but
I has so many letter to write and so much to attend
to that I have not yet had time to write you the
historich letter I promised. I recd an order
yesterday to go back to Tullahoma with two
Regts. and a battery, but recd an order this evening to
send one of these Regts to Gen Thomas at Pulaski 60 miles
west of this place.
